no chance. tires already in use. just bear with it until the next change. we all learn from mistake. make sure to ask around if you're unsure. don't trust the seller 100%

fazron80@
where are you from? there is one in balakong area. turn left around shell petrol station after the mines shopping center. it's call z motorsports or something.
cost around 80 bucks. good thing it was of pu steering bush which gives a tighter steering feel.

JJ91@
check out pinned tread of tires price list.

spiderwick@
you could try manual alignment. else, change your steering bush. refer to my reply on fazron80's question.
depending on the tires compound / material / type / road condition and driving style. should be good for another 40k km. unless it was a semi slick, sports or
extreme performance tires with low tread wear.

yes n it's a must cuz for ur car is using 195/55-15 n n 195/50 is undersize tires~

currently my car is using 14'' tyre but I plan to change to 15'' tyre n rim

any idea for a 15'' tyre ? looking for the comfort + silent purposes

I'm in perak, I'll check it out next week holiday. 80 bucks is alright, it's a nightmare driving on highway with your tyres keep going to the left. Might survey around for ps3 or hankook v12 tyres.
My only concern is i heard after changing bush your steering takes longer to return after doing a u turn. Is that true?

but most of my fren say 15'' is most suitable for vios

confuse now

btw...
jz some comment on low profile tyre...
when i was using 60...
it's quite nice and comfortable...
when hit hole or un-even place...
stil can drive veli smooth...
but when on profile 50...
d sterring will intend to shake left and right more if u hit hole or un-even place...
sometimes veli dangerous if not paying attention...

time for suspension upgrade or at least strut bar.

60 just look shitty on bigger rim

Racing Z tyre shop at Balakong. Just turn left after pass by the MINE shopping centre traffic light. The bush they selling are great. I change my waja cps steering bush after 1 month of servicing in proton. give me stupid reason say my tyre not nice la rim not nice la this and that. At the end, one PU bush everything settle. Go there and look for SAM a tall guy with specs la. Hahaha... After change to PU bush, i still drive like mad. Nothing wrong with steering. ask them do on wheel balancing for you. you wil feel your car is perfect during high way. hahahahahhaa

tat's for handling performance~

fazron80@
both hankook v12 and ps3 is a good tires. with ps3 being quieter and better wet grip. of course, more expensive too.
huh!told ya after changing to pu bush, steering feels tighter after every corner, all i have to do is holding the steering wheel slightly loose and it will turn itself straight in no time. which is more convenience.

spiderwick@
there is this silverstone motorsports in balakong, in front of jusco cheras selatan that do a good manual alignment.
the foreman will test your car a few time after the alignment done. sometimes, it may take 2 hours to get done. that's it until the foreman satisfied with the result. cost vary from 38 bucks to under 150 bucks on all 4 side!
depending on driving style, if we always turn the steering in full force during a turn, chances are the bush migh give way faster too.

lulu89@
your vios could accept 185/55/r15 or 195/55/r15 without any problem. better handling.

Str33tBoY@
low profile tires tend to gives a bumpy ride. depending on the suspension setup and tires pressure too.
+ point; better cornering and looks good too

- pilot preceda (thailand) rm220
- toyo proxes (japan) rm250
- falken ziex 912 rm160
- yokohama parada rm175

got other brand, but dont want to know.. eg like maxxis, barum, continental, silverstone etc..

any comment for spirited driving style from above tyre?

thanks a lot for your advice yngwie!

u should ask for maxxis and barum as well. those are goods tyre as well.
but for barum, 13" and 14' is the only size that worked best. after that better go for maxxis or nexen.

Do they have brake pads? I'm going to change mine too.


I'm using hankook v12 right now. Change it last year, it has been a good tyre for me. Far cry from the standard silverstone kruizer I was on before that. Been wanting to try the PS3 since it's came out but my hankook still new back then. Now is probably the right time to change it. After using this hankook I think that investing in a better tires is a must. It can determine the outcome during emergency situation definitely. However no brand of tyre can save you if you are driving like idiot on the road endangering yourself and others.
